\nI vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
\nEntire and whole and perfect, the service of my love:
\nThe love that asks the reason, the love that stands the test,
\nThat lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
\nThe love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
\nThe love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.<\/p>\n

\nAnd there’s another country, I’ve heard of long ago,
\nMost dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
\nWe may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
\nHer fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
\nAnd one by one and fervently we pray for her increase,
\nAnd her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
